No confidence ... . How in the fuck could anyone take that position when the entire planetary system, all metrics, air to sea and back, UNpredictably rose a whole degree C in the spring of 2023, 0 forewarning ?! And it was not predicted by any agency, man or machine If what you are saying of his, or any other's attitudes akin to it, is true, they're all full of shit frankly. Sorry. I'm not directing this at you ...I've grown tired of hearing these idiots with a veritable podium making declarations that are so clearly arithmetically wrong, if they are frustrating they are embarrassing. NO, until something or some one comes forward as not only having predicted the 2023 instantaneous Earth detonation degree event would occur, but precisely and incontrovertibly how and why, logic calls their bluff. They are highly suspect if not unequivocally false.

The back door front came through. After a high of 80F I’m now down to 67F.

Down to 54⁰ here now. It's actually turned into a nice afternoon for getting some work in the garden done. It was too warm before.

IAD hit 88 (beating the old record of 85). Looks like DCA and IAD probably will just miss.

How great for them.

This weather sucks. Heat exhaustion at my older son’s soccer game this morning. On April 4th.

Sadly, this is the earliest that my A/C has ever been run.

Charlie, I assume you realize that Roy’s been dismissive of alarmism related to AGW rather than the science of AGW, itself. He agrees that the globe has warmed due to AGW but doesn’t accept anything close to the worst case scenarios as being realistic because he feels that the warming from it is/will be less than the amount needed to result in the worst case due partially to negative rather than positive feedback. He feels that the alarmism is being largely fueled for political reasons. Due to extreme difficulty in predicting how much more the globe will warm, his being on the lower side is imho not contradicting science. We’re dealing with variables rather than exact answers. I personally feel that politics has a nontrivial affect on both sides of this issue as it affects so many things unfortunately. However, I do realize that outright AGW deniers do mainly reside on the conservative side of the aisle. These two statements aren’t conflicting.

It was a nice day.. stacking some wood earlier this afternoon, almost 60. Its 46 degrees now. Looks like the easterlies have killed a nice day. No pun intended.

There was a WB back into 2023 around the same time from a Rossby Wave.There was also another RW in Mid May JAMSTEC Mean shows the DMI rising into fall almost to +1.5 ATM,but when the DMI rises like this ,this is typical the norm you see more or less NINA the following year,least it's been like this the last several decades

Down to 62 now with more clouds and a stiff breeze out of the east.

I'm still waiting for all of the snow you said was coming back in early March.

Just mowed my lawn for the first time this season. For reference, my typical first cut is around May 1st.

Quite a few 90s in the greater DC area.

Sad fact - most Memorial Days aren't this warm.

54 here cloudy and east winds

Hot. Bees mating, skinks sunning on my steps, and the first black rate snake sighting of the year. June is off to a nice start!

Front is blowing through here now…pretty gusty E wind. 51°

Down 5 to 64

After weeks of dark gloom and overcast, yesterday was supposed to be partly sunny clearing in the afternoon instead the entire day was a shart mood. It was warm 17°C/64F in the morning then it fell to 5C by 4:00 p.m. Today its dark and raining and far colder than forecast at 5C. The nightmare just goes on. This is worse than any period in the winter because there was all that snow on the ground to reflect more light and in general there was more sun. The brightness even when it was overcast was higher so the sustained level of low lux is deviant - which is how I'm starting to feel. Looking at the 7 day makes me want to puke!! I'm getting an outlandish amt of rain too, somewhere around 70mm/3" this week.

Temp dropping very quickly with these strong east winds. It was 75 here earlier but now down to 60.

75 peak now down to 69 Eastern flow pushing clouds west and bumping with east moving clouds , a few showers in NJ

Geez.

91…the AC purring like a kitten!

Seattle forecast 0.4 or 0.6?
